    1. ICE employees or ICE agents? It’s not very clear what they’re trying to ban.

    2. Why add teachers in there. We all know no they can’t read and didn’t pass high school. You can’t teach if you couldn’t pass. That’s like saying a fry cook at McDonald’s can’t perform brain surgery.

    Policies like this often lead to long legal battles. I’m curious how “barred from civil service” would hold up in court.

    Hiring is all about recruiting the right people. From an economic standpoint, ICE officers are bad for business. They either committed crimes against their fellow American, or they stood by and watched it happen.

  4. “State’s rights!!” – it’s what Jan 6’ers who carried a confederate flag into the capitol, and all the GOP congressmen who voted to reject elected delegates and send the election back to states to be decided by GOP legislators, or attorney generals, wanted.

    I don’t see this ban as interfering with interstate commerce, nor does discriminate based on sex, age, race, religion, ….so suck it Fascist!
